Hmm. The revision can be passed through the env var
DEBIAN_REVISION, and possibly pcmcia is aware of that and uses that?
Or internally $(debian) is used to hold the revision, but I do not
know if that is exported by make by default ....
In short, I don't know -- I'll have to look into pcmcia rules
file to see what they do.
